There was a sense of fear going to school the next morning, I don't know why but I have thinking about Scarlett all night and with Edwards abrupt leave it just left an uneasiness. I cut the engine and sit waiting for one of the Cullen's cars to pull in but as time went on I realized that they weren't coming. It wasn't sunny so this absence was shocking but even more that Edward didn't tell me he wasn't going to be here today. I pull up my hood and make a dash in the rain for the doors.

At lunch I just stared at the empty table, Jessica was saying something or maybe asking me something. I quickly look at her and she must have realized that I wasn't listening because she pursed her lips then continued to talk to Eric. After lunch I went to my locker and inside it was a scrap piece of paper.

Bella,

Meet me outside after school.

I knew who it was from, the perfect handwriting was Edwards. I slid the note into my book and hurry to my next class. School seemed to drag on after that, the nervous/excited feeling that people get in situations like mine always seem to make days drag. The final bell rang and I walked quickly to gather my things and leave the school. Once in the parking lot I stopped and looked he was no where, I got into my truck and found him sitting next to me.

"Where were you?"

"We'll explain when we get to my house."

The drive there was silent and Edward seemed to get more tense the closer we got. I pull up the white house and without saying anything Edward gets out, I follow him closely as we enter his house but nothing seemed to be wrong. I relaxed a bit but Edward didn't.

"Calm down, hello Bella." Esme said. She seemed almost glowing with happiness, even as she told Emmett to get his feet off the coffee table. I was so fascinated with Esme that I hadn't even noticed anyone enter the room till a soft musical voice rang out.

"Edward you weren't going to offer your guest a drink?"

I jumped and turned, in the doorway a girl stood. She was 5'3 and had long wavy dark hair. I thought she was human her eyes were green but then she smiled and sharp white fangs appeared behind red lips.

"Bella this is Scarlett, Scarlett Bella."

"Our pet." Rosalie added as she and Alice entered the room.

"She can't be a pet, because then you would be allowed to eat her so clearly she is human."

My face was turning red from embarrassment.

"Just ignore them Bella." Alice said with a smile.

Edward and I sat on the couch. I suddenly felt jealous of this girl she could come back into a family and Rosalie accepts her but not me. I felt myself watching her, every movement, every laugh, it came more natural than the wind.

Over the course of a week Scarlett had mad herself at home and was now attending Forks High School as Carlisle's niece, today is her first day and I am not excited. Edward and I pull into the parking lot and instantly my eyes go to Rosalie's car and in the front seat I spot the back of her head.

"Come on." Edward say's with a cheerful voice as he gets out of the car. I follow him to where all of his family sat waiting, they were all laughing but it stopped the moment we entered. Edward playfully pushed at Scarlett and whispered something to her and I felt that usual pang of jealousy.

My first class, no Scarlett. My second class, no Scarlett. But then in British Literature she walked in with Edward, he took his seat next to me while she stood standing in the front of the classroom showing none of the nervousness that I had had. I could almost feel the classes excitement/curiosity as the stared at her.

"Dib's" I heard Mike whisper from behind me then he leaned toward me. "sorry Bella I found a new love." He laughed at his joke and I faked a laugh.

Mr. Sorrento came in and did his usual walk to his desk then told us to open our books to page 165. When he looked up he finally saw her.

"Who are you?"

"Scarlett Cullen sir."

"Ummm right, just take a seat anywhere."

As she walked past every eye was on her except mine, she seemed nothing important to me.

Sorry for the long update and I did make up a teacher and a class so it would fit in with my story. Enjoy Please R&R
